New style ballet converseFor the past few years I have been an absolute convert to the converse ballet style trainer, a perfect summer trainer with crops or even dresses, hence owning so many pairs. I decided my wardrobe was lacking some navy ones so ordered these but was so disappointed that the cut on them is so different and they are slightly narrower across the top. I have quite wide feet so found the left foot very painful and a lot of pressure on my big toe even though I had ordered half size bigger. Sadly these had to be returned. On a positive note! They are a perfect colour to go with jeans and the white stitching is very effective.

Too narrowI bought a pair of these about 4 years ago and absolutley loved them and got so much wear out of them and lots of compliments. As i don't have particually long legs i find the ballet style suits better. So i was so disappointed to find the shoe has been made a lot narrower now! They were so painful to wear (and i do not have wide feet!)and i can't go the next size up as they just slip off! Comparing the new pair with the old ones i could see you have added an extra seam at the toe end of the shoe. I continue to look for a replacement! Please please change them back!

Cute but very narrow fitAs many of the other reviews have noted, these are a lovely cute pair of converse however they are narrow so please be aware. I have narrow feet and these are a little tight for me which is highly unusual. I normally wear a size 3-4 and have narrow feet but opted for a 4.5 due to the reviews and glad i did. My feet do get a little bit cramped and I do end up with a bit of indentation on my feet but I'm hoping they will loosen up over time. These are a very cute shoe and fairly comfortable, and I can just slip them on with no lacing up to do, perfect for autumn wear.

Really DisapointedAlways had Converse Ballet since they were first released. Had my last pair for the last 5 years and have served me very well.
So disappointed with the new version. Very tight (I have narrow feet, so for me to say they are tight is quite unusual) and the quality is no where near as good as the original style. The material is weak, the sole is not as thick, so when you walk there is no cushioning.
The sole also pulls away from the material when I walk, so I can see it peeling soon especially on the sides.
I really hope Converse review this and bring back the old style soon.
I have added some photos for all to see the difference, please excuse the state of my old ones, you can see how much use I got out of them in the last 5 years or so.....

So cute!Got these in the pink suede like material with the rose gold and wanted these as a darker shoe. They’re really cute and not stiff and bulky like all stars. The ballet style is elegant and can be dressed casual but could get away with a dress or romper too.
I got them in a 5.5. I’m fairly short so sometimes shoes appear really long on my feet. These look nice on. I’ve read some reviews about how they’re narrow. I don’t have skinny feet nor wide feet so these are perfect.

Stick to your usual size!After reading the reviews that recommended buying a half size bigger, I bought these trainers in a size 6.5 (I’m usually a 6) I was gutted when they arrived and were far too big! Having returned them to store today I was humming and ahhing whether to get the 6 or the 5.5 - I opted for the 6 with insoles and am really pleased with the fit.
I haven’t had chance to wear them out yet but looking forward to getting lots of wear out of them over the summer :-)

Converse last ages!Lived in my last pair of converse for approx 3 years before a small hole appeared. The sizing is small - have gone up half a size to my usual size. They are also pretty narrow. Love that they are more dainty than 'normal' converse styles and more feminine. Great look, can wear with anything. Would order via click and collect as delivery is with yodel, who in my opinion, are dreadful.
